Compared to the other nas postings this is showing as if it includes hdd totaling 20g. is this unit diskless?

Yes it is diskless. You can chose what size disks you want for the total size

No, the Solo G3 is a single-drive unit. Here is their product line-up: http://iosafe.com/productsThey are about to offer a lower-priced RAID unit than their NAS units; I would ping them.

geez you all are so ignorant. the actual space is 64GB but a filesystem is needed to keep track of the files on the disk. how else do you expect it to work without a filesystem?

This unit has a 1TB HDD. The 1GB listed is an error. A request has been made to have it corrected.

I'm only using the one drive it came with right now. It might have software raid. You can ask the seller via their support link at deepdiscountservers.com.

It probably mean it is in O&M; package. It is like 'normal' HDD, just little bit slower to increase reliability so if you care more on reliability than speed it is good choice. I use two of these it in my NAS, and so far they work like a charm...

I have been running mine with a Western Digital WD30EFRX NAS 3tb just fine for a few months now. Runs quick and hasn't presented any strange playback issues or lag, it has actually decreased load times but probably due to NAS spec. Though, weird behavior with file transfer, when I copied over the old 1tb drive in my Micca to the new 3tb, it somehow ballooned my files by about 200gb. Hidden files show nothing and quite a few folders read different in size between the two drives. Not sure if files are being decompressed on the copy over or something, no ZIPs just ghost data that has taken decent bite out of the drive, I don't think there is a 200gb reserve or system partition on a 3tb...

There is no drive included, but there is a bay that supports 2.5 inch drives. I currently use a 240gb mSATA for the OS and 1tb for misc files and media.

Hi Nat.... I have a 3TB 2-bay NAS, and the AIOS sees it fine under the Network\'NASName' heading. All I had to do was mount the directories I wanted to share.

The two HDDs in the unit that I received are Toshiba DT01ACA1, and are 1GB each. I've had this NAS in service on my home network since December 2013, so I can't verify they still use the same brand drives in 2015.

I just ordered 6 WD Red 3 TB drives, and received 6 of them today. The ones I've received so far all claim on the label to run NASware 3.0.Edit: Just received the last 2, and they show NASware 3.0 badging as well.

Good answer. I just wanted to mention for others who may read this that most NAS systems (if that's what you use it in) will do their own disk surface checks during the setup or rebuild.

Have you received it yet? I am curious if the unit has a 250 or 320 gb hard drive. both sizes are indicated in the description.

From what I have read it should. I have the Sony media running on it now. Sorry I haven't had the nas type on it yet.

It is confusing/missleading on Amazon. The DS213+ priced at $399 does NOT include disk drives. Amazon have a seperate listing for a DS213+ 2200 with 2 * 2TB drive priced at $799 (showing out of stock on 12/15/12). I am still very pleased with my DS213+ which I fitted with 2 * 4TB drives. It certainly wasn't the cheapest NAS but so far has worked flawlessly.

The "Synology DiskStation 12-Bay (Diskless) Network Attached Storage DS2413+" is indeed diskless, i.e. it contains no disks and you need to purchase and install your own disks.

It isn't a NAS box; no Ethernet, no file services that I am aware of. It's as esata or USB housing for four drives. Mine is USB connected to a synology NAS box and exposes each of the four drives inside as a separate device to the synology nas head which then makes those available on the network via smb, nfs, etc. am pretty sure this box will work when USB connected to OS X. I have used other devices with the same innards as this one with OS X successfully. This box may also concatenate drives (make four 2 tb drives look like 1 8 tab drive) but I wouldn't recommend using that feature; lose one of the four drives and all your data is lost.
